Casey Anthony’s lawyers took the death threats against their cash-cow client seriously: After burly deputies with assault rifles escorted her from jail, she was whisked away to a secret destination even her own family didn’t know about.

“They don’t even know where Casey is,” Anthony’s uncle Chuck Eddy of Canfield, Ohio, said today about her parents, George and Cindy Anthony.

But the parents, who watched their daughter’s release from an Orlando prison early today on TV, do know that she’s OK, thanks to one of the lawyers guarding her.

“She’s safe,” attorney José Baez told George and Cindy Anthony in a text message, according to Mark Lippman, the couple’s attorney.

Baez has said there have been a slew of death threats made against Casey Anthony, who many think got away with murder on July 5, when a jury cleared her of charges that she killed her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008.

Anthony skulked from the Orange County lockup at 12:09 a.m. this morning with $537.68 in her pocket.

She was whisked immediately to a garage at the offices of one of her lawyers – and she hasn’t been seen in public since.

Baez said late last night that Anthony has a long road ahead of her.

When Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera ask Baez how Anthony is doing, he said: “I’m not a therapist, I’m a lawyer. So those kinds of questions I think are best left up to the mental health professionals.

“Casey has been through an incridble, trautmitc event,” he added. “We’re certianly going to do our best to try to get her in a position where she can help herself and try to move forward in life.”

Meanwhile, rumors spread like wildfire that Anthony had hopped aboard a private jet at Orlando Executive Airport and flown to Columbus to stay with relatives in Ohio, her parents’ home state.

But Eddy, whose wife, Kathy, is George Anthony’s younger sister, said he had no clue where his hard-partying niece was hiding.

“Casey is not staying with us,” Eddy told RadarOnline.com. “I haven’t heard from Casey, and I don’t know where she is.”

And Stephen Germain, who runs car dealerships in Columbus and Florida and owns the jet that was rumored to be carrying Casey, insisted Anthony wasn’t a passenger.

“She was not on that plane, no,” he told The Post from Columbus.

Baez said Anthony will eventally speak publicly, but only in a “dignified” setting: “The way we want to handle Casey’s afairs form this point on is in a dignified manner.”
